Why would we buyout Girardi and then trade for another Girardi?
Real hard pass on Bieksa. Also Fowler.

But if the Ducks were willing to actually trade a player who can play, I'd be open to Lindholm, Vatanen, Despres, Manson, Theodore, or Montour. Hell, I'd even trade for Stoner, but I wouldn't trade Nash for him.

Bieksa is way better than Girardi and Nash's value is at an all time low they'd have to add a lot more to get someone like Lindholm or Vatenen or Fowler

Hey man I'd be more than happy to grease the wheels a little bit to get Vatanen. We need a better RHD anyway. But Nash, even with low value, is still very valuable, especially since he'll very obviously do super well with Getzlaf/Perry. But I agree.
I don't agree, however, that Bieksa is much better than Girardi Maybe a little better, but not "way" better. If you take a look at #FancyStats, Bieksa is just about as good at suppressing shots as Girardi, which isn't very good anyway.

Do this with the Ducks roster and see if the they can absorb another 3.8m in salary a year for two years.
